Dogwood Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & MMA

“If you’re anywhere near the area I highly recommend training here. Jon is a great instructor that’s very engaging with students of all ages. Riss also has a very solid knowledge of Jiu-Jitsu. They keep the gym clean and friendly.”

“Affordable! Classes for all ages! Classes every day of the week to accommodate different schedules. My kids enjoy it, my wife enjoys the ladies group. Give Dogwood a try. The instructors have years of experience and the group that goes is well rounded from new comers to folks with 10 plus years.. all ages and sizes are welcome!”

“I have known coach John 7 years, f not a little bit more. He has always been a great practitioner in Jiu-Jitsu. His ability to verbally and physically pass on the details of a technique are fantastic. Through the years I have seen him grow into a great Jiu-jitsu artist. I am 170lbs, and coach John being 135lbs soaking wet, always kicked my a$$. His understanding of techniques is what allows him to dominate in a roll and educate in the class. We sorely miss him in Colorado.”

“I've been taking jiu jitsu lessons from John for 4 years. His planning and attention to detail really helped me make sense of jiu jitsu. He has also taught my kids and wife. His style is self defense oriented. John also is a great competing coach. If you are lucky enough to be within an hours drive, you must check this place out.”

“Visited for one class while in the area for work and had a great experience. John was very professional, accommodating, welcoming, and respectful. The class was well run and technique well taught. Good mix of wrestling and jiu jitsu, giving multiple options at a time for different skill levels and styles with each position. With rolls mixed in throughout class. The members were equally welcoming. No egos. Also a great facility. One of the best gyms I’ve visited. Thanks for having me!”
